Scope of Work
Wanzek was hired to erect roof trusses for a new B-52 Bomber hanger at the Minot Air Force Base. The four main roof trusses connected a span 430 feet from one end to the other of the new hanger. The two pieces connected together at 213 feet and 120,000 lbs make each quarter section of the trusses.
